Noise From Tomei And Gtr Fuel Pumps?

[benl1981]

Just about to fix up the install of my noisy GTR fuel pump into R33 GTST.

It's wierd mine is the same noise at idle and reving. You can notice it hissing very loudly at idle but once driving you cant hear it so much cause of wind noise and exhaust etc. Most say there is a dual voltage on them so at idle it is quiet. I cant see any changes to the wiring etc.

Also considering going a Tomei.

Just wondering if the both pumps should sound about the same if mounted correctly? If so I will stick to the GTR pump.

I see a lot of threads about noisy GTR pumps.

From what I can see they are virtually the same pumps (Tomei and GTR) but mounted differently?

cheers

Cheers Birnie. I have the new GTR one ready to go in though. I would have to wait for the Tomei. I had a closer look - I reckon they are actually the same pumps. Has anyone taken off the rubber on the Tomei and seen what is underneath?

Whereabouts are you now Birnie? You still coming down to Syd?

Thanks for the offer.

the tomei one in the GTR and the S13 are both noisier than stock GTR, the tomie pump in the GTR one is less noticeable though as there is more material in the car between the driver and the pump.
